The Republican Party has its roots in Jackson, Michigan. On July 6, 1854, outraged over the passage of the Kansas-Nabraska Act (which opened new territories to slavery), well over one thousand citizens met “under the oaks” to denounce slavery, develop a platform and form the Republican Party.
Though the issues have changed in size and complexity, the opportunity to overcome injustice still exists for the citizens of Jackson County. The Grand Old Party has always stood for personal freedom, and continues to the rational voice of our nation’s hard working Americans.
